The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. So, during this tour of the Indian team, a big statement has come from Sairaj Bahutule, who is playing the role of interim bowling coach for this tour. Bahutule has also described the batsmen of the Indian team as good bowlers.

It is worth noting that a three-match ODI series is currently going on between India and Sri Lanka. While Shubman Gill was seen bowling in the first ODI match, Rinku Singh and new T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav were also seen bowling in the third T20 match.

Sairaj Bahutule gave a big statement

Let us tell you that after the end of the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka on August 2, Sairaj Bahutule said during the post-match, as quoted by India Today – I think our batsmen are also good bowlers. Their first skill is batting, so they do not focus much on bowling, but they have the skill, the more they practice, the better they will do.

Bahutule further said- We saw this during the T20 series, the way Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in the team’s victory by contributing in bowling. Similarly, Shubman Gill was given the ball in this ODI match. Seeing this, it seems that in the coming time it is going to be completely an all-rounder’s game.

On the other hand, if we tell you about the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka, the first ODI match has ended in a tie. Now the second match between the two teams will be played on Sunday, 4th August at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It will be interesting to see which team wins this match?
